because not everyone here really cares- OR-
Where but in the knitting of an intermediate novice(see side bar)can you find such great hope in the next finished object?

Anxiety Anyone?

Right now my life is full. It is good. All is well. For the past year that has not so much been the case. Not blogging that crazy personal family shit is always for the best so just take my word for it.

On the other hand I have friends that take me out and make sure I get to do this:

My favorite gingerbread houses are the ones where some adult clearly gave the kids a pile of decorations and said "have at it."

Other friends who take the time to make me this awesomeness

And a successful steeking of the Monroe Sweater (Streymoy on Ravelry-so named after Monroe from Grimm).

That being said, the stress and anxiety continues and the good dr. who never prescribes anything stronger than benadryl for anxiety has declared that I need more and has offered some relief with "mother's little helper" for the next week just so my body can remember how to breathe and relax. And you know the diagnosis is real when the only effect it has is to help me get up in the morning.

Go forth and be well blog readers and know that I am working hard to do the same.

If you do three stitches and you have to go to the bathroom, hold it. You'll never know where you left off.If you have to pee, hold it. Take the dog out first. It's not playtime. Debbie, from the Knit Shoppe.

Knit what you want. Even if it's crocheted.

When it says "left front", it means "left front when you have it on," NOT "left front as you're looking at it." Yet another hard-earned lesson, and I'm happy to share it. Yarnhog
